Kento Miyahara vs. Yuma Aoyagi

[8.0] "Man, it's grim seeing Korakuen less than a third full for the Champion Carnival. This was a tidy encounter & it's cool that they didn't feel the need to tease the time limit ****"

[6.0] "It was a good match, probably the best match on the show, but still a significant level below the best matches between these two that we have seen recently."

[8.0] "The dark horse finally wins! Good short match between these two. I expected a bit more from them, but this was still good and delivered what was promised, especially at the closing stretch, where they just go all out with the exchanges and create some pretty awesome sequences. This match is more aboute Yuma's big moment than the in-ring action, and I'm feeling super excited for my boy! Really praying that he wins the whole thing and finally becomes the Main Eventer that he should already be. ****"

[7.0] "Beyond the big win for Aoyagi there really was not much to this, it was far from bad but it never threatened to be anything more than two good pro wrestlers delivering a good pro wrestling match"

[8.0] "Typically great match from these two - hard hitting, didn't outstay its welcome, and fast-paced action. Aoyagi had an aggressive start, and then fought back from a Miyahara control period for a clean and decisive win."

[8.0] "These 2 are incapable of having anything but a great match together. Yuma finally overcame his biggest rival and pinned Kento in singles matches. 2 of AJPW's best putting on a great main event."

[9.0] "Great match between Aoyagi and Miyahara right here that wasn't as tremendous as their title match earlier this year but probably could have been with a few more minutes, anyway this was a very good hard-hitting affair between two guys who have a very good chemistry. SANADA beat his biggest rival in the most beautiful way for the first time yesterday, same for Aoyagi here, it's definitely the weekend of beautiful stories in this beautiful country of Japan."

[9.0] "Not only Yuma Aoyagi finally beat Kento Miyahara clean in the middle, but from the beginning he wrestled like Miyahara's equal, and in moments when he had chances to turn things around and run with it, he did exactly that and made it look great. It didn't feel like he earned his win because he took a beating, made a big comeback and won, but because he simply was a better man and hit his big moves when it counted the most. Not the best match between these two, but one of the more important ones. ****"

[8.0] "Best match to main event the Champion Carnival Night 1 show, there was wonderfull action in this match, and they helped make it feel important which helps a lot as they had Yuma go over Kento for the first time. ****"
